War on traditional America

I cannot avoid the feeling that our corrupt, progressive, greedy Marxist elites have sold out America for parts. Like never before in Judeo-Christian history, everything appears to be upside down. We can’t get rid of the impression that we’ve lost virtually everything close to our hearts. Our liberties, our freedoms, our history, our traditions, our common sense, our human dignity, our Constitution, and our way of life. Our politicians, our schools, our colleges, and our media organizations keep...

America, a magnet for millions: Why do so many people want to come to the US? (Episode #27)

“A simple way to take a measure of a country is to look at how many want in. And how many want out.” (Tony Blair) Whatever you think, say, or tell about America, one thing is sure. In the most regions of the world, the American way of life is still extremely popular. However, America’s image in the world has two diametrically opposed appearances. • An endless admiration by people who love and appreciate the American way of life. • A politically, socially, and economically motivated incredible ha...

Why is America exceptional? (Episode # 26)

America is an exceptional nation. This is not because of what the US has achieved or accomplished. America is exceptional because, unlike any other nation, it is truly dedicated to the natural law and principles of human liberty, grounded on the truths that all men are created equal and endowed with equal rights. These permanent truths are "applicable to all men and all times," Abraham Lincoln once said. As the Heritage Foundation points out, America's principles have created a prosperous and ju...

Love you, America! (Episode #25)

I was born in the very heart of Europe, full of rich history, culture, and a two-thousand-year-old tradition of feuds, wars, poverty, and human sufferings. As impressive some of the epochs might have been, they were all built on authoritarian, dictatorial, tyrannical systems. No such thing as democracy, personal freedom, or independence ever existed. With this kind of historical baggage, Europeans don’t comprehend what we call personal freedoms, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. When ...

Managing the Uncertainties in Our Life (Episode #24)

We all love to be safe, certain, and resolved in our lives. We hate the uncertainty of any kind. Lose-ends make us worry about our future, and this is normal. Unfortunately, in our contemporary lifestyle one thing is certain: change. Adapting constantly to the changes around us makes us uncertain and worried. Managing the uncertainty in our life becomes a major undertaking only emotionally mature and intelligent people can manage. Let’s start at the root of the problem. Our brains are not hard-w...

Promote Your Personal Growth and Self-Improvement (Episode #23)

Are you satisfied with your life? Or do you think your personality has much more potential waiting to be discovered and developed? If you think, with your intellect, education, and background, you could make much more out of your life, you are not alone. Many people view themselves as underrated, undervalued, and under-appreciated. But, don’t blame others if you didn’t pursue your personal growth and development in the past. However, it’s never too late. What is this all about? Be aware that per...

Beware of "Group Thinking"! (Episode #22)

The way you make your decisions in life tells a lot which kind of personality you are. Do you love to agree with your friends and peers? Do you enjoy sharing their cultural opinions, personal preferences, public trends, societal judgments, and political conclusions? If so, you are a victim of group thinking, a collectivist, the opposite of an individualist. You are not forging your own opinions, lifestyle attitudes, and assumptions. On the contrary, you love to adopt the mantra of your group, yo...

Change Your Attitude, Change Your Life! (Episode #21)

I still vividly remember when my parents told me, many years ago, you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. The old saying summarizes it all. People don’t want to listen to your complaints, accusations, or anger. They are fed-up with everybody’s bitching and negative attitude, but they are always receptive to a positive message. People love to listen to you when you are telling a pleasant, optimistic story. We can learn a priceless lesson from that. Negativity seems to be a result o...

Is "Legal" Marijuana Substitute for "Happiness"? (Episode #20)

With the legalization of marijuana in many states, we opened Pandora’s box. We are bombarded with cannabis advertising, praising the benefits of this mind-altering drug and letting us believe, the pot is harmless. Let’s enjoy it! A multi-billion dollar market opened up, and like with all advertising, it’s celebrated as the greatest, fashionable new discovery of the hip generation. Just to separate facts from fiction, there are some legitimate medical uses for marijuana for people who suffer unde...

How Can I Manage My Stress? (Episode #19)

You are not alone. Most people suffer under stress, at least occasionally. If it happens only up and on, it’s not really a big deal. However, if you suffer under permanent stress, you are not just harming your quality of life, you are endangering your health in a potentially irreparable way. Just to make it clear: There is good stress and bad stress. The good one is positive when you are working hard on something you like. This kind of stress doesn’t stress you out, it rather creates some kind o...

Good Friends, Bad Friends... (Episode #18)

Good friends are one of the most important parts of our daily life. As Warren Buffett once said, it takes twenty years to build a friendship and just five minutes to ruin it. Be honest. Can you really trust all of your friends? We all tend to hang to the romantic idea that all friends are what we hope for, assume and they always supposed to be: genuinely trustworthy. Life is simple, we just made it complicated. Nothing defines the relationship difficulties better than friendships. Show me your f...

Solving Conflicts the Smart Way! (Episode #17)

As much as we hate experiencing conflicts, we must admit that they are a normal part of our relationships. We can’t agree on everything, and avoiding conflicts hurts both sides more than it is able to help. The smart way to deal with conflicts is not to circumvent them but to resolve them in a rational way. Conflicts arise from the differences you have with other people. They occur whenever people disagree over their values, motivations, perceptions, ideas, or desires. In particular, in personal...

Compassion Makes Us Happy! (Episode #16)

Compassion is one of the most powerful forces in life. It embraces empathy for people who are in need and requite our attention and help. It is our personal engagement in the fight against cold-heartedness, indifference, and injustice in our society. Compassion is a personal willingness to give, desire to donate your abilities, talents, and time. It brings out the noblest characteristic of a human being. It lets us step outside of our comfort zone to help other people who depend on the help from...

Instant Gratification: We Want Everything and We Want it Now! (Episode #15)

It’s a typical sign of our over-fed, selfish, and materialistic society. Our happiness appears to depend on indulging in fleeting pleasures and instant gratifications. Usually, it’s not what we need, it’s what we want. Fancy items trendy people consider a must-have. We are often so impatient that we can’t wait, we want it right now. Overnight deliveries of online-purchases are the best example of that. If doesn’t matter if this costs a lot of time, energy, and money. We just want an instant feel...

Who is Selfish Here? (Episode #14)

Selfishness is a part of our life. It doesn’t have just negative effects. A baby or toddler, for example, needs to be selfish to survive. An adult must be selfish when fighting for his or her life. Treating yourself well during tough times is a kind of selfishness, too, but this is not necessarily a bad thing if it doesn’t hurt others. Selfish behavior is generally considered bad and immoral. A closer determination, 1. Selfishness is seen as “good” if somebody is treating himself in a positive w...

Why Fears Always Affect Our Lives (Episode #13)

We all suffer under some kind of fears, at least sometimes. They may hold back our relationships, our careers, prevent us from achieving our goals and dreams. If we are too anxious, our angst may destroy our way of life. Not surprisingly, it doesn’t matter whether the reason for our fear is real or just imagined. The effect is the same, sometimes devastating. It is highly recommended to verify whether you too are a victim of your own fears potentially affecting your life. Let me summarize the to...

What Are Our Priorities in Life? (Episode #12)

In our busy, restless life, there is not much time to reflect, to make conscious choices, and to separate good from bad, right from wrong. Our daily routine runs our life, not us. We are often overwhelmed, don’t know what to do. We just take our events, projects, and problems as they come. First comes first. We feel this is not rational, not effective, and it makes us stressed-out and unhappy. You cannot do everything, and especially not immediately. What can we do? First of all, we must recogni...

Find Out Who You Really Are! (Episode #11)

Your true identity is probably not what you think it is. It depends on thousands of factors such as your childhood experience, your education, your lifestyle, your habits, your secret and open desires, and much more. Additionally, your conscious “knowledge” about who you are is also determined by the fact who you want to be or who you hate to become. Furthermore, what we think we are is nothing but just a self-perception. Watching ourselves in a mirror or watching our pictures gives us an “impre...

Our Worldview Determines Everything! (Episode #10)

Whatever we do or not do, whatever we think, value or hate, how we behave and whatever we believe in or not in our life mainly depends on one thing: our worldview. An oversimplified analogy might be: Whenever we change our eyeglasses, our view of things around us changes because our eyeglasses determine what we are able to see or not to see. Everybody has a worldview. Rich or poor, smart or stupid, believer or non-believer. All things in our life depend on our worldview. Derived from the German ...

Find Peace of Mind or Lose Your Mind! (Episode #9)

Why can't we find our peace of mind? The short answer is: Virtually everything we know, love and cherish seems to be upside down. We are irritated and don’t’ know what to believe, where we belong,, and what our identity is. The detailed answer is in my book Find peace of mind or lose your mind. Here is my short explanation. Everybody needs a home. We all agree with that. However, we all also assume our physical “home” for our physical body. Only a few people know what psychologists found out and...

Do we have to accept the "new normal"? (Episode #8)

Just look around you. Anywhere. On the street, at their job, in stores, at public events, on TV, and even at their own homes. Watch how the people look, what they say, how they behave, how they treat their own people, and how they treat others. You are asking yourself, am I crazy or are they totally out of whack? Some of your more progressive friends may say, this is “the new normal.” You say to yourself, wait a minute. Am I supposed to accept all that? No way! “Normal” for me is only what I acc...

Don't Screw Up Your Life With Emotional Decisions! (Episode #7)

We are all more or less emotional. It would be terrible if we wouldn’t be. Emotions are the most important part of our lives, determining our feelings and our state-of-mind. Nobody wants to become an ice-cold, emotionless, Roboter-like human being. Emotions enable us to enjoy life, make life worth living. Women are, generally speaking, more emotional than men. This makes them even more attractive and lovable. However, like in most areas, we can get overboard – and we do! According to studies and...

Be Nice, Display a Random Act of Kindness (Episode #6)

We live in an unfriendly, rough, sometimes even hostile and cynical world. Many people are so self-centered and narcissistic that they don’t care about other people, their needs or feelings. Selfish people, and there are many of them, don’t see how others suffer, and they don’t want to see it because they are just too busy with themselves and their self-indulgence. Compassion is not something that would ever cross their mind. A few years ago, I read a story in a newspaper reporting a hard-to-bel...

Small Problems, Big Solutions (Episode #5)

We all have our problems. Small or big. Short-term or lifelong. Some are just a little nuisance; others trouble us for years without being able to overcome them. First of all, this is normal. Problems, struggles, complications are a part of our life. We can’t avoid them. If we think about them rationally, it is not so much about our struggles, it is mostly about how we deal with them. As always, everything is about our attitude, how we deal with difficulties in our life. With a negative energy i...

Whom Can We Still Trust? (Episode #4)

What is trust? It is a firm reliance on the integrity of a person we consider reliable, honest, truthful, and decent. A person who won’t lie, deceit or cheat on us. In short, a human with moral values prohibiting him to be a jerk and to turn on us. Trust is a basic foundation of most human connections, from most casual friendships to most intimate relationships. It practically rules all human interactions we have with each other. You don’t fly on an airplane if you don’t trust the pilot. You don...

When Truth Doesn't Matter Anymore (Episode #3)

We celebrate our divisions. We celebrate our egoism, hatred, fraud, deception, resentment, alienation, anger, frustrations, fear, retributions, vendetta, conspiracy, dishonesty, victimhood, and even despair. We celebrate our moral decline, we applaud the decay of our society, we hail the destruction of Judeo-Christian morals, principles, and values. For the sake of progressivism, social justice, and political power play, we sacrifice everything our civilization ever fought for. Truth and facts d...

Never Give Up Your Dream! (Episode #1)

Most people have very extensive dreams about what to do with their lives, but only some are able to reach them and convert them into their reality. This is not because their dreams are necessarily too exotic or difficult to reach. This is mostly because most of them don’t really believe in their own dreams, and this is a tragedy. Such dream losers often listen to the wrong people, look in areas where there is no such thing as dreams, and get discouraged by our ungrateful, untruthful, jealous, me...
